Edward J. Yoon commented on HADOOP-2993:
----------------------------------------
It should probably be explained
"Set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to the directory where you installed Java."
rather than
"Set JAVA_HOME to the root of your Java installation."
> Specify which JAVA_HOME should be set

> Quickstart page (http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/quickstart.html) specifies
that user should set JAVA_HOME under "1." of "Required Software". But, it does not specify
where this should be set. My instinct (as would be the instinct of any un*x user) was to
set this in his/her shell/profie/rcfile. Please specify that this should be specified in
conf/hadoop-env.sh. Yes, this is clarified later under "Download", but is easy to miss, especially
since the user will think that he/she had already set JAVA_HOME.
